Creekside is located in the Sierra Nevadas, along Highway 70. It is 2.5 miles from East Quincy and 6 miles from downtown Quincy. I think you will find the home a welcoming place to relax. This home, where I grew up, is surrounded by the Plumas National Forest. And it is actually one of the most economical places to stay in town, for this is a town where a spartan motel room costs about $85.
WHAT CREEKSIDE HAS: A friendly creek that runs year-round and also runs right past your back deck. It has deer and foxes and turkeys and squirrels and wonderful songbirds and, yes, there’s even a chance you’ll see a California black bear but, in fact, it isn’t likely. In the 6 years I’ve been hosting, only 1 guest has seen a bear. I want you to know it’s possible but unlikely, in case you’re fearful. FYI: A California black bear’s behavioral traits are NOTHING like a grizzly bears.
WHAT CREEKSIDE DOES NOT HAVE: These are stumbling blocks for some guests, so I want to be clear:
1) It doesn’t have television reception.
2) The internet is not unlimited. By this I mean, there is a data cap. If this worries you, we can discuss how the cap works and what it means as far as being online. Basically it only effects video streaming.
I very much enjoy hosting and would enjoy hosting you! I just want all potential guests to be aware of the two technological disadvantages of my little spot of heaven. I hope to have the internet cap lifted but the electric company has been promising that it would happen for 4 years now. Every time I call they say, “We hope it will happen in the next 5 or 6 months.”
So, for your entertainment there are games to play and there are movies to watch on the dvd player and there is a creek to sooth you and animals to look for. I hope that’s enough for you to choose to stay “Creekside”.

Hospitality is second to none!

Barbara couldn’t have made us feel more welcome. The house is a perfect rustic hideaway in close proximity to beautiful Quincy. Everything you need is there and Barbara is on hand to help with any difficulties - particularly reassuring your London born city boy husband that bears are not going to eat him!!!!

Thank you Barbara - we grew to love your home, it was a pleasure to meet you and we will return :o)

Rest and Reflection in Nature's Beauty

We loved this property, surrounded by forest, with a creek right next to us constantly providing music for our ears as well as our hearts. The home is old and has the feel of times gone by. Yet, it is well cared for. We had everything we needed, and it was comfortable and cozy. We will definitely go back to Creekside.

Quaint, well stocked, private residence!

We will definitely stay there again if we are in the area. Comfortable bed in master but it's up on stilts and a little wobbly. Other than that, everything was great. Kitchen had everything we needed. We really enjoyed our time

Owner's Response: I wondered if that might be true, the wobbly thing! No one ever said it was so I thought it was okay!
I like the way it looks, raised like that, BUT I think I'll change it now! :) Thanks for letting me know, I appreciate the input.
And thank you for the positive feelings about my good old family home!

We appreciate your participation and assistance with our efforts to operate the most secure and trusted vacation rental marketplace in the industry
